The series is designed to provide authoritative answers to, or at least helpful discussions about, the questions involving legal matters that are most frequently put to the professional advice line maintained by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Here authors identified only by name offer advice on how to keep thorough records that only the right people ever see. Among their topics are the clients' perspective on the right to confidentiality, responding to dilemmas, basic responsibilities of the therapist, how long to keep records, sharing information between professionals, developing agency policy and practice, and mental capacity and consent. The law, in this case, is English and Scottish.
